A recent report from Statistics Canada highlights a substantial shortfall in housing development, with many Canadian cities constructing only about 10% of the homes needed to accommodate the millions of immigrants admitted between July 2021 and July 2024. This housing deficit has contributed to a rise in homelessness, particularly in major urban centers like Toronto, where the number of people experiencing homelessness has more than doubled since 2021, according to the latest Street Needs Assessment. In response to the growing crisis, the upcoming federal census will include questions about whether respondents sleep in their cars to better gauge the extent of homelessness across the country. Despite the overall increase in homelessness, some regions have seen improvements; for example, Snohomish County reported a 1.8% decrease in its unhoused population this year compared to last year, and an 11% decrease from 2023. At the United Against Extremism Conference held on June 29, 2025, National Telegraph contributor Daniel Bordman warned about the challenges posed by rapid population growth in Canada, which has surged from 30 million to 40 million in a short period. Additionally, it was noted that the proportion of unhoused refugee claimants has risen sharply from 13% to over 50%, underscoring the complexity of the homelessness issue in the context of immigration.
